Cuz the sh*t is dope. Why you worried about it? Keep it moving.

seems expensive to have a change of light colour
if the shit came in blue you'd want green....

aint worried, intrigued

If I had to buy a new screen anyway, I'd like to have the choice and would probably get a blue one. I like the way they look, but like the green too. I won't cop one till my old screen craps out simply because of the cost...I'm all about customizing my mpc, but it's a pricey "upgrade"...

This is my MPC1000 Custom with the new black pads.....

ok, theres been a few updates to it. but i'm waitng to post pics until it is all complete.

if you can looka at the pics above and imagine this...

i'm putting in a blue lcd screen when it arrives.

i will be puttin in black pads when they arrrive.

(i've already bought both the screen and pads but shipping from america to northern ireland is always a bytch, usually a couple of weeks. fuk usps)

i got black f1-f6 buttons from mpcstuff.com.

i've used high density double acrylic matt black paint to paint the step buttons, main, tap tempo, next seq, track mute and erase buttons. i swear the paint is that good you would truly think it was black plastic.

i decided to leave the play, start, and stop buttons alone beacause they are generic to all models and colours of mpcs including all LE versions.

other things i want to do is replace the leds, it may not seem like it but a white mpc, with blue screen, balck pads - the green led look really out of place. however i will be leaving it to a proffessional to replace them, after the lcd incident, i just on't got the cahonies to start pullin out more cables in this machine. the sad things is i expect nothing but 200% quality of workmanship from myself and others (i'm a tradesman), when i was painting the all the buttons, sliders and cf surround, i took my time and done it right and the job turned out perfect, i couldn't be more happy with it, but i let myself down with the lcd, pulling too hard on the idc caused the connector to snap. oh well i gave it a shot.

i'm stuck in a rut as far as the data wheel , rec and volume gain knobs, was thinks bout painting them a metallic black aswell as the side panels, but i don't know if i have the confidence to remove them! anybody have expierience with that?

thats a sweet MPC1000 bro the black pads will make it look even sweeter!

Thanks man... yeah they are like the ying and the yang. Man you just gave me a idea with that Knight Rider Red LED thing, Im going to drop Red LEDS in this machine now....That would look so fresh...And as for the pads they do feel alittle softer and they are smoother,like if you run your finger across the pads they glide....All and all im Very happy with the new Black pads, I think they are better then the grey ones the feel is way better but they smell like dye or chemical but it starts to disappear after a few days...peace

yo eveil props on the reply...

yeah i just painted my data wheel and buttons, i used double acrylic matt black for the buttons and diamond metallic black for the data wheel. i finished the data wheel off with two coats of clear laquer just jo give that extra gleam. looks fukin fresh.

i can't wait for the black pads to arrive. i don't think the smell will bother me too much though, like you said it dissapears anyway.

i will post pics when she is complete....
